Because as some say, Android is fragmented unlike iOS. Sadly I agree. Too many devices running Android make it hard to have a one app works with all kinda thing. It's not like iOS where it's solely for iTouch, iPad, and iPhone.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I'm not sure why this is happening to your device frankly. Did you try changing the screen timeout value in Android's settings ? If the App is uninstalled, I don't see how it could affect other apps or the Android build in general. Perhaps a factory reset as a last resort ?

This happens when the program is not able to get permission to query either Gtalk, Gmail or K9. Have you installed/uninstalled K9 recently after installing NoLED ? I bleieve Gmail/Gtalk's latest updates didn't break NoLED so far, so the culprit is most likely a faulty K9 installation.

Sad but I believe you're right. When you have manufacturers messing with simple things such as when certain APIs get triggered/called, things like that are bound to happen. I'll double check on it nevertheless.

Update: are you using WidgetLocker by any chance ?
[Android Apps and Games] geokilla:
Nope no WidgetLocker.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
could you try to dismiss using the back key or after pressing the home key, just unlock your screen then switch the screen off. Is the problem resolved? It would help if I can pinpoint the issue.
[Android Apps and Games] Axemun:
Just downloaded the app now and its brilliant.

NoLED

Seriously, you blame this on NoLed and not watching a movie for two hours? Just how do you connect this to using NoLed?:eek::eek::eek:
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
NoLED

I have a request. I finally got around to using the auto-rotate feature which I'm sure you added some time ago. I use my phone in Landscape mode a lot so I really like this. The yellow battery percentage is very bright. :)Just wondering, though, if the Time could be made brighter like it is on the unlock screen. It is very hard to see in sunlight. Please?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
you can actually change the color of the time. It should be listed under Colors. :)
[Android Apps and Games] tangcla:
I mean movie at the cinemas, not on the phone :p the phone was idle/asleep and reception was good in the cinema.
[Android Apps and Games] EBI_LANCER:
no work with WidgetLocker ??
[Android Apps and Games] Taomyn:
Have you even bothered to read the FAQ from the 2nd post, or even searched the whole thread?
[Android Apps and Games] EBI_LANCER:
wow i am sorry my apologize
[Android Apps and Games] E-riko:
Okay this is either a bug or a setting (but I dont think so, havent found anything)

So the problem is when my phone is in sleepmode, and I receive a phonecall on it in that state + I ignore it fysically by Declining the call I get a "missed call" icon from NoLED wich doenst make any sense since I have declined the call :)....

What the **** :)
[Android Apps and Games] geokilla:
Using the back button, everything is fine. I sent myself an e-mail via Gmail and the Gmail icon popped up. Then sent myself a text and the text icon showed up.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Yea, haven't figured out how to distinguish between a missed call and a declined call so far. Seems Android is a bit limited in terms of APIs in that department. I'll need to have a look at it again.

Got it. Thanks. I'll try to make that more robust.
[Android Apps and Games] E-riko:
ow okay, so its not a setting I overlooked :)

to be honest, its something I can live with ;) but okay, if you could fix that at some point in the future, its perfect :)

thx for the reply

edit: it also does the same when on lockscreen view (in this case widgetlocker)
[Android Apps and Games] king23adrianc:
how come the screen is not pure black when there is a notification??

its like dark grey background..
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
NoLED

LOL, sorry for the misunderstanding. If you don't set time out parameters and you notifications or the time is set to never-sleep and you do not dismiss it with the power button, then, yes, your battery will drain. My notifications are set to time out after 15 minutes. And I try never to forget to dismiss the never-sleep time option. The times I have, the drain was significant. Long story short, set sensible parameters. If you still have drain, then that's not NoLed. Look for a rogue app.:)
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
NoLED

I just moved the 'value' slider all the way over and now it is super bright! Just what I wanted! Over time the apps options have exploded exponentially. It's hard to keep up, lol.:)
[Android Apps and Games] tangcla:
I noticed that after the NoLED notifications expire (after 5 minutes) the screen turns on, then goes back to sleep after the usual timeout as specified by Android Settings.

Is this a known bug?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
That's the screen limitation unfortunately. Depending on what type of screen your phone has, it could be "pure black" as in SAMOLED screens or really gray like in LCD screens. Although I must say, "pure black" in SAMOLED is not exactly completely black. SAMOLED+ in the Samsung Galaxy S2 has better black pixel properties so the background will look black(er).

yea, its not a known bug but not really a problem either I think. If you have the default lock screen, the screen should time out quickly. quicker than your screen timeout value.
[Android Apps and Games] ew:
Project V ROM wit lockscreen disabled

I am using the Project V ROM with the lockscreen disabled. I noticed that NoLed isn't providing notifications.

See http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=14820003#post14820003 for my post there on this issue. Any ideas?

Thanks,
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I just double checked how the Home key is handled, and it should indeed terminate the notifications' window and not restart the state when it comes back. The problem doesn't happen on my device --maybe because i don't use the home key so i haven't tested that extensively-- but that'll be a hard one to debug.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
that's a known problem. check out the FAQ.
[Android Apps and Games] geokilla:
I can test again if you'd like. I'll send myself a gmail and two texts using the home button, then again with the back button. Though I'll do that at around 10:30pm EST.... Trying to figure out why Odin isn't working right now >.>
[Android Apps and Games] tangcla:
So does this mean the entire screen is actually powered on?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Nah, I believe you man. I just can't explain why its happening on the gingerbread roms on your device.

Yep, it is definitely entirely powered on, but SAMOLED screens are designed to save battery substantially when displaying black pixels.
[Android Apps and Games] superflyboy:
Can you create an option to simply leave the screen notification alone and only use the backlights of the Menu and Back buttons to blink when a received activity occurs?

Or maybe the Menu customized for one incident, and the Back for another?

I for one are not too happy that the screen is being used, due to the power drain, but of course would prefer that Samsung (have a Galaxy S2 I am trying now) had built in LED indicator lights!

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] tangcla:
This would be addressed by BLN. You need a kernel with BLN for that to happen.
[Android Apps and Games] Taomyn:
Black pixels on OLED screens use no power because they're not switched on. An entirely black screen uses zero power, that's why they're power efficient as they only use power for the lit pixels, unlike traditional LCD which needs power for every pixel mainly due to the back light.

If you're seeing greyish black when you're meant to see a black screen then there's a back light on and then that means it's not OLED.

[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
NoLED saw daylight in a thread where we were all trying to get the backlights of these buttons to work. When we realized that some kernel mods and root was required, I made a little app as a 'proof of concept' taking the idea from someone who have posted a screenshot of a lit pixel with a complete black background. Long story short, depending on the device and driver implementation, making the backlight switch on without the screen being on is not uniform across devices and Android does not provide any APIs or the ability to do that via an app.

BLN came to light a few months later which overrides the backlight modules to do just that. You'll need root and a custom Kernel that implements it. But doing it via an App is impossible on the SGS & SGS2.

That's what we initially thought. But set one of your notifications to be a dot, and make that notification trigger. Then go to a completely dark room and watch the screen. You'll notice that the black pixels have a little "glow". Nothing major and you'll most likely not notice it if the room is not completely dark, but yea, the other pixels are actually switched on.
[Android Apps and Games] Taomyn:
Nope, no glow here, deep black everywhere except the dot and a faint glow on just its neighbouring pixels which is probably just a little leakage from the lit one

[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
lol, ok. I guess its a good thing that you don't see it.

Somewhere in this thread, more people actually complained about it (yes, on the SGS SAMOLED) and I was able to see it personally on my device. That's why I also put a "strike" on the corresponding text in the OP.
[Android Apps and Games] geokilla:
I can see the whole screen light up as well, and i'm on maybe 5% brightness.
[Android Apps and Games] oxala:
Hi, I've recently installed NoLED and find this very useful. But not so useful as it could be, I have some suggestions:

- Time and sleep/Sleep option should work in different way: now it seems to ignore all notification during sleep time, I suggest it should display past notifications when it wakes up

- Audio reminder should be much more configurable: now it is only one global possibility to have or not to have reminder, I would like to have audio options connected to each notification type, for example I could set loud notification for missed calls (repeated frequently), but very discreet for missed e-mails (repeated rarely). Additional it should be possible to set using of proximity sensor for each audio notification separately, because then I could set notification for most important notifications even if phone is located in my pocket
[Android Apps and Games] smukc:
which live wallpaper is that in the video :D ?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I like these ideas but i'm trying to stay away from clutter and that will just complicate things on both the UI and the code.

The first idea is doable without any UI changes, so I'll see if its doable to "store" the states while you sleep until NoLED wakes up again.

Thanks for all of these suggestions

Help

Hi,

I have recently installed noled but am having a problem getting the SMS notifications to work! All other notifications are working as expected.

I do not have widgetlocker running but am using GOSMS to handle my messages if this has any bearing on the problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as it is driving me nuts!
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
If GOSMS is displaying a popup on the screen whenever you get a text, then it most certainly is. We got an entry for that on the FAQ so just want to make sure that you went over it.

Otherwise, sms is broken on the Fascinate because the screen unlocks and stays on after an incoming sms, so make sure that is not happening on your device as well.
[Android Apps and Games] rudeboy150:
Started using noLED two days ago and I have to admit it blows BLN out of the water perfect addition to sgs CM7
[Android Apps and Games] spireitexi:
Thanks for the reply madmack but I have made sure that the GOSMS pop-up screen is not active.

Also, I have a SGSII not a Fascinate but I have made sure that the screen does not stay on after getting a message.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
it works fine on the sgs2 I tested it on.

remove the SMS app and see if that at least helps.

Droid Charge & Button Backlights

Just picked up my Droid Charge about 36 hours ago and really missed my LED notifications. So far, NoLED has been actually a better solution than typical LED Notifications, but I am having one issue that I was hoping someone wouldn't mind helping to clarify...

I'd like to disable the backlights for my Charge's physical buttons. This feature works great, unless I unlock the phone. I've found that if I disable the backlighting, the backlights don't pop back on once I unlock the phone to view my recent e-mail, text, etc.

Is this the same for everyone? Should I just leave my backlights on?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
How are you disabling the backlights ?
[Android Apps and Games] Paul22000:
Hi there

Love the app!

I am using it on the HTC Sensation 4G, which has an LCD screen.

However, when I use the "Blink" feature, the screen turns on for a notification, but then never turns off. It just stays on permanently, no matter what values I put for On Time or Off Time.

I even tried switching to White Background mode, and it does change, so the Blink settings do seem to be taking effect.

The screen just won't turn off.

Any ideas what could be the issue?

Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
It seems its a broken implementation for the screen wake lock by HTC. Is this device sporting Sense UI by any chance ? I might be able to force a screen shut down to overcome this issue.
[Android Apps and Games] Paul22000:
Ah ok, darn.

Yes, it's HTC Sense 3.0.
[Android Apps and Games] KarateExplosion6:
Thanks for the quick reply. I'm attempting to do it via NoLED Settings > Advance > Disable Backlight.
[Android Apps and Games] Ulasp:
Thanks for the application.

Everything was going swimmingly (including using Handcent) until recently - I decided to get rid of the lock screen altogether.

I read the FAQ you kindly produced, and I read the part about the lock screen controlling your application.

Just out of interest - in the thread so far has anyone come up with a workaround so NoLED works without a lock screen or am I just wishing for the impossible.

Thanks anyway :)
[Android Apps and Games] enestu:
Does-it work with miui ?
[Android Apps and Games] Swisha7:
sms notifications not working for me either. using on stock sms app on a GSII...
[Android Apps and Games] NF7:
works great ! Thanx
[Android Apps and Games] TwinFish:
Love this app, brilliant idea!
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I'm not sure why the lights are staying off in your phone even after dismissing the notifications because whatever I change, is not persistent once the app is not in the foreground.

Did you try to dismiss the notifications with the back key ? does it change anything ?

No workarounds. NoLED relies heavily on the lock screen for the events to fire correctly.

no reason why it shouldn't :)

I can't seem to replicate this. SMS works fine here on my SGS2.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
new beta version out

It's been a while but here it is.

The major work was done with the Contacts photos, as you can see from the attachment, Nicole Kidman sent me both an SMS and a Missed Call :D

Get it from the OP :)

Change log is also on the 2nd post.
[Android Apps and Games] tangcla:
Great, this looks interesting!

I have one request though, is it possible to adjust the 'minimum brightness' threshold? as I found with minimum brightness the screen goes green, so brightness needs to be adjusted so it's just that little bit above minimum.

Actually, on that topic - why is it all green?
[Android Apps and Games] Paul22000:
Just tested 4.4b, looks like the Blink still just leaves the screen permanently on for Sensation 4G (Sense 3.0).

Oh well.

Question:

Is there any way to use the default app's icons? IE the *actual* Gmail/Gtalk/etc icons, rather than the wireframe icons?

Disabling the icon and setting it to watch Gmail/Gtalk (in Monitored Apps) results in just a dot, rather than using the app icons.

Is there a way?
[Android Apps and Games] joetowel:
Thank you for this great app. Are you going to update the Android Market with the new release?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Being all green I believe is a driver issue. Simply setting the screen to very low brightness levels results in these colors. At least I know I got that when I was playing around the CyanogenMod7 auto brightness settings.

I'll see if I can implement a way to adjust the brightness. I'll put that on the to-do list.

The only way to do that would be to theme NoLED. Information on theming exists on the website. You'll have to get these icons from the web somewhere and then just apply the steps in the site. If you want to share that, I'll be more than happy to post it among the themes that we already have available there :)

I most definitely will. I'm no hurry though as 4.3.2 (the current market version) is very stable and works just great.

Once we get enough features in, I'll push a new version to the Market.

beta testing helps me a lot though. It would be great if we get more people to test these apks that I release here before the Market release where it could potentially break 200k installations :o
[Android Apps and Games] Taomyn:
Just trying 4.4b and so far so good.

When using Noled without WIDGET LOCKER it works great.

But when turning Widget locker on Noled stops notify my missed calls or sms.

Why?

I found the solution.....
[Android Apps and Games] KarateExplosion6:
Yeah, I did try to dismiss notifications with the back key at the time I had wrote my original post... At that time, I had only selected to dismiss with the Back key, but ALL keys would dismiss the notifications.

Since my original post, I've changed settings around and now my problem is the complete opposite! I have Disable Backlights checked, but the backlights remain on constantly. Also, the Back key is now the ONLY key that will dismiss notifications. If I press the Power key, it just turns the screen off. Press Power again, screen comes back on with notifications showing.

Ideally, what I want is to see the notifications without the menu keys being backlit. Then, I'd like to just hit the Power key and have it wake to WidgetLocker so that I can unlock.

I've read the FAQ and have made the appropriate adjustments within WidgetLocker.

Here are my current and relevant NoLED Settings:

- Switch NoLED on: YES

- Battery Saving Features:

>> Blink: NO

>> Timeout: NONE

>> Disable touch screen: YES

>> Dim screen: NO

>> Dismiss w/prox sensor: NO

>> Prox sensor: YES

- Time & Sleep:

>> Time interval: 3 SEC

>> Enable Sleep: NO

- Misc:

>> Display NoLED icon: NO

>> Right dots: NO

>> Reorient screen: NO

>> Disable backlight: YES

>> Disable vol keys: YES

>> Auto-start: YES

>> Only in Silent/Vibe: NO

>> Dismiss buttons: BACK BUTTON (No other selections)

>> Delay SMS: NO

>> Delay all others: 0 SEC

>> Perm time display: NO

>> NoLED ON/OFF Notifications: NO

- Advance:

>> Log Monitored Apps: NO

EDIT: I am not yes using the new Beta either.
[Android Apps and Games] Holmes108:
Sorry if this has been covered, I really did try and search the thread.

I use K9 email for 3 accounts, 2 of which I want to get notified by NoLED. It's works great 90% of the time, but every so often, email notifications stop.

I look in the settings, under "Icons" or "Colors" and K9 Email as an option has just totally disappeared. The email accounts don't even show up.

A reboot always fixes it, and it works great, for a couple weeks at a time. Is this a known issue, or has anyone experienced this?
[Android Apps and Games] Paul22000:
Damn ok, that's definitely beyond me. I thought it would be simple since the icon is already attached to the app. Perhaps an option in NoLED to "Use default app icons"?

Another question:

The picture for missed calls/SMS is pretty cool. Is there any feasibility of making this work for Gtalk/Google Voice?
[Android Apps and Games] SimeonAS89:
I agree this would be pretty cool. Just came across this and am testing as we speak. Having contact pictures is a really good idea. Anyway to adjust the size of those? Like maybe a small, medium, large option?
[Android Apps and Games] kladde:
How do I add this feature?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
You've setup everything correctly. I'm afraid the backlight bug has to do with your Android build as in my testing unit the backlights do turn on when you click on them even though they're off when NoLED is displaying notifications on the screen. My setup is almost identical to yours.

Sounds like a permission error. I honestly don't understand why K9 chose to implement integration this way. They could have done it without the need for these extra permissions that are buggy at best. If you use NoLED's Tasker/Locale plugin you'll see a much better and improved way of integration that doesn't require these extra permissions. I'm afraid I don't have the solution in my hand. Perhaps contact the guys at K9 to remove that permission requirement.

This might be possible with GTalk, but certainly not with Google Voice given that the APIs for the latter are locked down and are not exposed. GTalk is also closed but people have managed to expose these APIs so that's what NoLED is using. I haven't looked at the possibility to get the Contact info via Google Talk, but I guess it should be possible.

I'll keep things the way they are for now. I might look into that addition sometime in the future :)

The sizes for these contacts are identical to the sizes of the Themes icons. So if you select Large for your theme under Icons, then the contact icons should appear larger.

It's available in the latest beta that you can grab from the OP. Once installed, go to Icons and you'll see that new feature in there where you can simply enable it.
[Android Apps and Games] Holmes108:
No problem. Well thanks for the info, love the app!
[Android Apps and Games] Paul22000:
Ah ok.

I rarely ever use my phone for actually talking haha! So I rarely get missed calls. And I use Google Voice exclusively for texting so never use SMS. The reason I ask is because the contact-info seems like a really awesome feature, but I'll pretty much never get to use it haha! :D

Any chance of adding a few characters of a Gtalk message below the icon? (Or the first 10 characters of the person's name?)

Love the app! :)
[Android Apps and Games] KarateExplosion6:
Do you use WidgetLocker as well?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Yea the nickname or part of the message is a great idea and has been on my to-do list for a while. I just never came to a comfortable design to put that in specially given the way the icons currently bounce around. I don't think it'll be cool to have the text appear under the icons you see. I've been lazy about it tbh.

umm.. no :( but i don't think that its the issue in your case.
[Android Apps and Games] AtHomeTech:
I love the APP but I really am not a big fan of the touch screen phone (I have the Samsung Charge) yet, I'm a blackyberry user at heart..

My second biggest peeve is that I have to hit the power button to wake up the screen so I can then swipe to unlock it. I love that when I have a notification i can just hit one of the bottom buttons but with no notifications I have to hit the power button to wake it up then swipe.

Is there a way to get past this, I tried to use widgetlocker but that caused more issues than it fixed including basically making noled useless.. Maybe after the screen goes to sleep set a null notification to wake it up but leave it dark?

Any help would be great.

Oh ya, not a deadbeat here, I did donate 5 bucks today, really appreciate this app.
